Amber Fort
About 30 minutes by car from Jaipur city.
As you drive along the mountain road, the fort walls suddenly appear.
The overwhelming size and beauty take your breath away.
This area has been inhabited by the Rajput tribe, who have practiced Hinduism since the 8th century. They incorporated cultures from various countries such as Persia and Turkey, creating a unique culture. Due to its strategic location where various ethnic groups interacted, they built strong fortresses in the hilly areas to prepare for invasions by foreign tribes.
These fort walls are part of the six fortresses built during that era: Chittorgarh, Kumbhalgarh, Ranthambore, Gagron, Amber (Amer), and Jaisalmer. In 2013, they were registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site under the name "Hill Forts of Rajasthan."
Many people say it is more impressive than the Taj Mahal, but it might be better to consider it as something entirely different. It is also compared to the Great Wall of China in Beijing, but it is unique and incomparable. It is definitely worth a visit.

Checking in at a 400-year-old castle in India, once a princely palace, now the hottest local attraction
Amber Fort gets its name from being located on a small hill called Amber, and this palace built in 1592 was the old capital of a certain Indian prince, and now it has become the most worthwhile attraction in Jaipur. From a distance, it looks like a monarch draped in the afterglow of the sunset, solemn and mysterious. The white carvings leap among it, like the brightest stars in the night sky, quietly telling the glory of the past.
Stepping into the castle is like traveling through the corridor of time, where every brick and tile bears the weight of the years. The spires point to the sky, the murals whisper ancient legends, and the carvings are proof of the craftsmen's ingenuity. Those colorful murals, with their unique language, tell one story after another about love and war, life and death. Standing here, Tagore's verses gently ring in one's ears: 'Let life be as splendid as summer flowers, let death be as peaceful as autumn leaves.'
Amber Fort is not just an architectural masterpiece; it is a microcosm of the Indian soul, a tapestry of history and culture interwoven. Every stone, every piece of rubble, hums the past's splendor and sorrow. It is India's pride and a treasure of the world.
If there is enough time, be sure to walk up the hill, where you can visit Amber Fort from different angles and feel the unique charm of this ancient castle.

Amber Palace
During my trip to India, I decided to visit the Amber Palace in Jaipur. My goal was to explore this magnificent historical landmark and enjoy its unique beauty.
I enjoyed a palace interior tour that allowed me to explore many beautiful halls and vast courtyards. The Sheesh Mahal, or Mirror Hall, was one of the most striking features I visited. It is characterized by a glass ceiling and decorative mirrors that reflect light and create an enchanting appearance.
I spent several hours exploring the palace and enjoying its beauty and ancient history. It was an amazing and culturally rich experience that left me with unforgettable memories. I recommend everyone to visit Amber Palace to enjoy its unique splendor and beauty.

Jaipur: Where History Whispers in Pink
Jaipur, India's "Pink City," is a vibrant symphony for the senses. Cobbled streets wind through rose-washed buildings, leading to majestic forts like Amber Palace, a symbol of Rajput power. The Hawa Mahal, or "Palace of Winds," whispers secrets on the breeze through its intricate pink sandstone latticework. Within the City Palace complex, a kaleidoscope of courtyards, museums, and armories awaits exploration. Beyond the city walls, bustling bazaars overflow with colorful textiles and handcrafted treasures, while the aroma of spices tantalizes from street food stalls offering a taste of Rajasthani cuisine. Jaipur, a captivating tapestry woven with history, culture, and color, promises an unforgettable adventure.

A Solo Travel Guide to Jaipur, India
A Solo Travel Guide to Jaipur, India
Jaipur, also known as the Pink City of India, is famous for its orange-pink attractions. One can explore the city's sights by bus or taxi.
Travel tips: Uber is the most convenient way to travel in India. It's easy to get ripped off offline, so Uber's prices are uniform. You can pay directly by linking your card.
Sightseeing arrangement: In the morning, you can take a taxi to Amber Fort, the site of the ancient city of Jaipur. Built against the mountain, it is scattered with numerous palace ruins. It was built in 1592, and from Amber Mountain, you can overlook the entire city of Jaipur. The ticket price is about 40 yuan.
The second stop is back in the city to see the famous Palace of the Winds in Jaipur. The best way to appreciate it is to climb to the roof of the house opposite. There are many rooftop tea shops and cafes, and for about 4 yuan, you can overlook the Palace of the Winds.
In the afternoon, you can stroll around the old city. The Jantar Mantar Observatory is the best-preserved observatory in India, with a large number of astronomical instruments. The ticket price is about 10 yuan.
Next, I must recommend going to experience Jaipur's largest cinema, which is also the largest cinema in India. With its pink tone, retro curtains, and exotic atmosphere, the huge studio can accommodate thousands of people watching movies at the same time, providing a great experience.
Accommodation in India is generally expensive. For solo travelers, I recommend hostels, which cost about 80 yuan.
Food: Traditional Indian food is curry and roti bread, masala and naan, and masala tea. There's also biryani, which I really like. The average cost is about 12 yuan.

India Jaipur Amber Fort | Shocking!!!
Amber Fort, a must-visit tourist spot in Jaipur, India.
A must-visit spot in the area.
When traveling to northern India, Jaipur should be a city that many people don't miss. It is one of the famous "Four Color Cities" in India, known as the "Pink City". In addition to the famous Palace of the Winds and City Palace, the Amber Fort here is also a must-see.
Attraction introduction
Amber Fort is built on the hills north of Jaipur, with a large area. It was first built in 1592 and took 125 years to complete.
Ticket
Visiting Amber Fort requires purchasing a ticket, with foreign tourists charged 500 rupees and domestic tourists charged 50 rupees. To reach the fort from the foot of the mountain, there is a stretch of mountain road that can be traversed by foot, elephant ride, or jeep. Walking is not too far.
Amber Castle Guide
Amber Castle is a complex of buildings built along the mountain, divided into three levels. The first level, the palace, is a very spacious square, which was probably used for military training or parades at that time. If you ride an elephant, you can pass through the Lion Gate and arrive at this square.
The second floor palace of Amber Fort is a public conference hall. In the middle of the square, there is a square building which was once the place where Indian nobles received ministers and listened to the people's advice, as well as the place where the people paid various "harsh taxes" to the nobles. Today, the public conference hall is a popular tourist destination and a place for leisure and relaxation.
Next to the public conference hall is an exceptionally magnificent palace ✨, also the most famous attraction: the Glass Palace. It is an emperor's sleeping palace built in 1675, and is called the "Mirror Palace" because countless mirrors are embedded in the walls and ceilings of the palace. In addition to mirrors, many gems are also embedded in the walls. Whether it is mirrors or gems, the embedding method is identical to that of the Taj Mahal walls.
After coming out of the Glass Palace, we arrived at the highest point of Amber Castle, where we can take in the surrounding scenery 📸. The most eye-catching of them all is the castle on the mountain next door, called Jäger Castle. This castle is very mysterious and outsiders are still not allowed to approach it.
Standing at a high place, one can truly feel that the Amber Fortress is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The fortress is situated high and overlooks the surroundings, with a moat below, and the mountains around it are covered with a 40-kilometer-long city wall.

The Amer Fort, situated in Amber, 11 kilometers from Jaipur, is one of the most famous forts of Rajasthan. Amer, originally, was the capital of the state before Jaipur. #spooktaculartrip #urbanexplorer

This pink castle hides the Indian girl heart! If you look at it once, you don't want to go
Amber Fort is built on the mountain, layered. The rolling wall is like a giant python squatting in the foothills of the mountain, holding it in his arms.
The harem is also hidden. The 12 scorpions lived on the same floor, but the stairs were independent. Because you can't see who is being flopped every night, you will be spared the sorrow of jealousy.
If they quarrel with each other, they have to go to the central courtyard, and the king squints at the balcony.
Tips

I took a lot of small self in Amber Fort, because I have a lot of fat recently. I can take a small picture without using a p-picture, and it is difficult to highlight the majestic magnificence without letting myself be small!
Amber Fort is the number one attraction in Jaipur. It is said that the people here can see the king's office here. The pressure of the king who is staring at millions of eyes every day should be great. . .

Ins Punch, Amber Fort Learn about ~
Amber Fort is located on a hill in the suburbs of Jaipur. It was once the capital of the ancient kings of India.
The castle's condescending location makes the castle look magnificent from the foot of the mountain. The castle is large, the most famous is the Palace of Mirrors. The palace is inlaid with glass, and under the reflection of the sun, the entire palace shines. However, there are too many tourists, and if you want to take a photo of no one, you can only move the lens up.
The castle is decorated in a gorgeous style, making people linger.
Passengers can also choose to ride an elephant up the mountain.
If it is a chartered car, you can drive directly to the middle of the mountain.

To the Pink City of Jaipur, the Amber Fort in the northern suburbs is the most attractive place for tourists in the city and has always been a major travel platform. Recommended classic top1, Rajasthan is also a famous castle state.
It is located on the hillside. It used to be the old capital of Jaipur. It is surrounded by winding walls and has the magnificent scenery of the Great Wall of China. The whole castle is made of milk white, light yellow and pure white stone. It looks like an amber in the distance, so it is called Amber Fort.
Not only attracts foreign tourists, but many Indian natives also punch this beautiful palace.

This Amber Fort was built in 1592 by King Jae Singh. The color of the castle was all made of stone in pale yellow (which explains the pale yellow of the wall of the Powder City house is indeed allowed). It looks like amber in the distance, so it is called Amber Fort. Entering the interior of the castle, the open courtyard, the magnificent architecture, the vaulted vaulted roof, the geometrically carved colonnade, the labyrinth can only be brought back to the passages of the various palaces according to the signs, bringing us back hundreds of years ago. From the high platform of the palace, the whole city is high, and there is a moat under the mountain. On the high mountain outside the river stands a continuous wall (this wall, I am the Indian wife of the Great Wall of China).

From the Palace of Winds, take bus No. 29 for only 20 rupees to reach Amber Fort. Amber Fort is the old capital of Jaipur. It is built on the mountain and the terrain is dangerous. There is a moat below the castle to defend Jaipur. I woke up very early, and in the soft sunshine, Amber Fort was full of brilliance and radiance.

How about this red rice bag that is scoured in India? Amber Fort is really a good place to take photos. You dont need to enter the scenic spot, you can take a lot of handsome photos along the way, but you must go here early. Oh, because the light in the morning is the best, and it is also the best time to take pictures of Amber Fort.

Amber Fort is the ancient capital of Jaipur and was built in 1592 by King MAN SINGH. Its location is in danger, and there is a moat below, surrounded by high walls. The whole castle is condescending and defends the city of Jaipur. It is said to have been the capital of India for six centuries.
The buildings in the fort are made up of palaces of different periods and built according to the mountain. Visitors can ride or take a jeep to visit the mountains. Because the castle was built on a hill called Amber, it is called Amber Fort.
The castle is large in size and has several separate buildings. The most famous inside is the small mirror on the wall of the Shesh Mahal Palace built in 1675. It is covered with glass and the whole palace shines under the reflection of the sun.
Amber Fort is magnificent and the decoration is gorgeous. The vaulted roofs of the palace, the fine lattice windows of the geometric figures, the marble columns and the flower plant carvings are all influenced by the Mughal architectural style.
The best time to visit is when the door is just opened at 8:00 in the morning. Like the Taj Mahal, after 9:00, there will be a large number of tourists and tour groups, wanting to take pictures of no one, only Can wait or find a corner!

I saw the Amber Fort on the Internet: the Amber Fort stands tall on the mountain. From afar, there is an imposing and inviolable domineering. The castle is golden yellow, revealing the extravagance and elegance of the official. Speaking of your heart, watching photos doesn't feel very domineering. You can come to the scene and let my eyes shine. The walls of the palace are inlaid with gemstones and stained glass lenses, which are radiant under the refracting sunlight.
There are three ways to get to Amber Fort: one is to take the road, the other is to take the jeep, and the third is to ride the elephant, 900 rupees per person. We chose to take a jeep.
From the bus stop outside the Palace of Winds, there is a public bus to reach the Amber Palace (Amber Fort, Jaigarh Fort) on the outskirts, 2 yuan fare, 20 minutes drive, and all are air-conditioned buses, car conditions Also better.
The entire Amber Palace attractions include Jaigarh Fort and Amber Fort. To board the Amber Palace, you can follow the steps on the Maota Lake side, or ride an elephant up the hill on the square next to the parking lot. If you walk up the mountain, it only takes 15 minutes.

A majestic Rajput castle towering above the boulder, friends who have seen the Indian film "Akba the Great" must know where it is. It was once the glory of Ajstan and Lagup. The splendor of the special person is the glory of the entire history of India. Entering the Amber Palace, you will enter the top feast of art, color and architecture.
Amber Palace, also known as the Amber Palace, was built in 1709. It is the summer palace of the Rajasthan king. After the expansion of the Rajasthan king of the kingdom, it became the famous mountaintop castle in India. Milk white, light yellow, rose red and pure white stone are built, which looks like amber in the distance, hence the name. The inner palace is most famous for its "Mirror Palace". A large number of inlays in the palace, the combination of lenses, stained glass and colored stones, is a miracle. However, due to natural reasons and the damage caused by improper repairs, the walls of the amber palace have cracked, the lenses are peeling off from time to time, and the top buildings are no longer strong. In order to protect this historical heritage, the Indian government has invested a lot of manpower and resources, and hopes to restore the amber palace to its original grandeur. At present, relevant work has begun.
Amber Palace is a typical "medieval castle". Most of the castles at that time were built on the hills to make it easier to defend. With the changes of the times, the site selection of the castle has gradually moved to the flat, and the function has gradually evolved from the actual combat to the palace and the decorative high.

The Amber House built by Ekaterina Palace was fascinating and magnificent after its completion. It is known as the eighth wonder of the world.
In the Second World War, the Amber House was robbed into the Nazis of St. Petersburg, but with the end of World War II, this treasured treasure suddenly disappeared from the eyes of the world.
Palace can be said that the park is full of poetry, everywhere is painting, everywhere is full of fascinating melody, everywhere is filled with the fragrance of flowers and plants.
The five round onion-style spires of the Ekaterina Palace Church are golden under the blue sky, almost far from anywhere in the garden.
